In real estate, the biggest hurdles are often the ones you least expect—and sometimes, they’re as small as a crystal doorknob.Back in 2019, a simple set of crystal doorknobs nearly cost us a $25,000 deal on a home on Burgess Street.

Setting up an LLC is a smart move.

(example my printers cartridges are $550 for a complete set but ink costs $30 and refilling takes 30 minutes. $520 saved in 30 minutes)

Both approaches can be effective, but they come with different sets of considerations.Turnkey properties are often a safer choice, especially for those just starting out.

@Aubrey AdamsTo start investing in real estate, set a realistic budget, choose a good market, and consider house hacks.

Adding a property per year for the next few years will set you up very nicely for the future.It’s also important to figure out what your goals are and then work backwards from there.

I set up a meeting with a VRBO supervisor to challenge this. 

If they're charging $500 a month AND they charge a set amount (sometimes its a months' rent or half a months rent when they get a new tenant), then they're ripping you off and you should fire them immediately without question.  

Here is my current set up:1) ShowMojo for managing the self showing listings (It has some self showing anti-fraud services, syncs with smart lockbox to issues codes, etc etc)2) CodeBox Jr smart lockbox where I have the keys3) ReoLink Go Plus Cellular Camera with a $5 per month T mobile data only sim card.

People setting them off all hours of the night etc.
